Real-World Experience in the Field Just understanding theories is not enough. You need to viscerally experience how it applies to people in a real-world setting. Field Education is an integral part of the MSSA, providing amazing opportunities for students to build experience, hone skills, and make connections. The Mandel School is affiliated with more than 350 Greater Cleveland agencies, creating a vast network of MSSA education and employment opportunities.

5 Powerhouse Professors Who Believe Having someone believe in you is the most important resource any school can provide. When you enter the Mandel School, our faculty will believe in you. They are, first and foremost, mentors and teachers. They are icons in their respective fields, world-renowned for their transformative, cutting-edge research. But their doors are open, their classrooms are engaged, and their true passion is for their talented students who are the future of social work. Beyond the Mandel School You will be part of the vibrant campus of Case Western Reserve University, which will offer interprofessional opportunities with your student-colleagues in medicine, nursing, business, and other schools. You will also be a part of Cleveland, a city with a rich philanthropic history and one of the highest concentrations of community development organizations. It has vibrant neighborhoods, a low cost of living, exceptional food and culture, and terrific opportunities for students in their academic and personal lives. I am so excited for the doors that my MSSA will open for me. I have great plans and now have the tools to pursue them.
